"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. Good Boondocks.

Mmmm, I just had the best eggs. Cut up Aidell's apple chicken sausage, sauteed it with mushrooms. Scrambled the eggs in. Add parmesan and then a nice, spicy garlicky salsa.

The dangerous thing is that Aidell's now makes their sausage in a little smokies size. So I've been cooking some up to have with ravioli, or making a sandwich of them, or (as noted) tossing them in with eggs. Instant protein hit with excellent portion control.

I never dry clean. If I thought it absolutely had to be dry cleaned, I wouldn't buy it.

I can go for about a month without doing laundry, but I am wearing pretty dorky clothes toward the end.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I just sorted laundry. I think today is a five load day, if we're to get it all done.

It's also Diaper Day, so I think at most, I'll manage two more regular loads after the load of baby clothing is done.

I don't do laundry daily, but on the days that I do it, I do several loads in a row.

Yeah, we are blessed. Right now, she's snuggled up against me, napping. It's the best part of the day in a lot of ways, even if it does trap me in an uncomfortable position half the time.

I'm not going to bother closing the sap tag. I'd just have to reopen it when she wakes up and smiles and we have a new best part of the day.

Lily is so beautiful and her hair is such a lovely color. Also, y'all are great photographers.

I take things to the cleaners. Actually, my cleaners are unimaginatively named "The Cleaners." I do that because I do not, under any circumstances, iron.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

ita, the red 9 and 10 you see is a DMV thing. You put them up in your window until your plates get mailed to you, if you've recently moved here from another state or have had to turn your plates in for some reason.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hey, I have a CA DMV question. I submitted a change of address form with them (not too long) after I moved, but I never got anything acknowledging the change back from them. Should I have?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

My apartment, though messy as hell, is where you ALL want to be right now (except maybe the vegetarians). It's 48 degrees outside, grey and rainy, and my apartment is all cozy and warm, with some candles lit and jazz on the stereo, and a humongous crock pot full of chili bubbling merrily away. Mmmmmm. Chili.

However, I have to leave in about 90 minutes and take the chili with me, as I offered to feed my friends, and I was too lazy to go over there early to start the chili. Meals on wheels. Yum. I make GOOD chili.

Good Boondocks.

Julie is practically HOMELESS!

The dangerous thing is that Aidell's now makes their sausage in a little smokies size.

Really? Excellent! I'ma have to look for those. I love love LOVE the chicken apple sausage.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The main light source of the future will almost surely not be a bulb. It might be a table, a wall, or even a fork. [link]

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I was looking for Winter Olympics info since Figure Skating season started and I saw this short "cartoon" that the Olympics committee put together:

[link]

(the links for the short are near the top - 2 bandwidth options) and I think this is really a weird cartoon. Is this supposed to get kids interested in the Olympics? I can see the opposite reaction.
